open. Once fully open most authorities
suggest pulling in or B-lining the
paraglider to avoid having the two
canopies working against each other while
descending in a wide V.
We recommend that you practise this
procedure under qualified instruction in a
gym (such arrangements are offered by
most schools and clubs around the world)
and that you have your harness/parachute
configuration tested by qualified
professionals before flying. It is also a
good idea to go through the entire
deployment procedure before each flight
to ensure that you are mentally prepared
in the event that you suddenly need to use
your UP Profile Light reserve parachute.

Before packing the UP Profile light it must
be checked by a certified parachute rigger.
In case the parachute has been deployed
in earnest it must be sent to the
manufacturer or to a manufacturer-
approved checking facility for a complete
check-up. Whenever re-packing an
already packed parachute make sure that
it remains deployable after installing it in
the paragliding harness. This procedure is
called the Compatibility Test and must be
performed each time the parachute is
installed in a harness.
One of the things that must be verified is
that the force needed to deploy does not
exceed 70N, which is the equivalent of
what the certification authorities consider a
suitable one-handed deployment force.
Thus, if the deployment force is 70N or
less the parachute is approved.
To avoid accidental deployment the
certification body accepts the use of a thin
piece of cotton thread holding the pin in
place. This thread must have a
maximum breaking load of 20N.

rupture thread" chapter.
